I think what a lot of people don't understand is that the cultural and societal aspects of religion can still exist in a society that is 100% secular. Most atheists aren't anti-theists, in fact, most of them still take part in many religious customs and celebrations in a secular form. Anti-theism doesn't even mean the eradication of religion, it's typically used to describe the intellectual opposition to belief in a deity,

So, I'm honestly perplexed whenever I see people arguing that the "end goal" of atheism is to eradicate religion, this is something both religious people and ill-informed atheists believe, for some reason. I guess this is what happens when Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris are your go-to atheists and you're measuring atheism against the most extreme religious zealots because that's what most people are reactive towards.

What should be completely removed are almost all forms of institutionalized religion and religious power structures. These are the exactual oppressive structures that have used religion as a tool to justify every form of bigotry and crime against humanity. They are also not essential to the practice of the religion or the survival of the religious culture. Your right to practice your religion ends if you're using said religion to advocate for the oppression of Muslims (assuming you're not practicing Islam), atheists, LGBT+ people, and other minorities. You can be a church-going Catholic without advocating for state-sanctioned religion or the rights of others being removed. This evangelical breed of religious extremism has no place in society and is what actually leads to real genocides happening today.

#non royal #text #also people really do act as if atheists are persecuting religious folks by being annoying and edgy #in my opinion it's like comparing islamophobia to a dislike of Christianity in canada/america #one is a form of dangerous systemic bigotry that kills and the other is at most being rude/ignorant #the religious majority always prosecutes religious minorities including atheists #i'm serious that atheist persecution is an actual problem and the rights of irreligious people are neglected #if you look at how atheists are treated in many religious communities and by evangelical governments there is no comparison #and they have little to no institutional power to fight for their rights as a group #in the US state governments are often times trying to institutionalize religion in ways that harm muslims atheists and all nonevangelicals #the things ron desantis and other republicans have said about atheists would make me feel unsafe living in their states as an atheist

The reason I post on Tumblr is that I'm trying to spread the news about the Iran revolution and my targeted audience is non-iranians around the world. It's a fact that people of different nations mostly know each other by nationalities and not subgroups and ethnicities. For example, I know people from China or Russia or Argentina as Chinese and Russians and Argentines, but I have very limited knowledge about the cultural and linguistic diversity within different countries. I know about some ethnic groups through media or documentary programs, and I know more about the people of neighboring countries because of proximity and common grounds, but you can't expect me to know the demographics of every country around the world, and in return, I don't expect citizens of other countries to know the details of existing ethnicities in Iran, a country that has been isolated and pushed out of pictures for decades. With all these said I like to give very basic information about the ethnic structure of Iran's population.

Ethnic map of Iran

Iran has always been a multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-culture, and multi-lingual nation. Iranian is the nationality and not an ethnical or racial identity. Persians, Kurds, different branches of Turks, Balochs, Lurs, Arabs, Gilaks, Mazanis, etc, etc, are the racial or ethnic identities that have made Iran's body. These ethnic groups have their own language or dialect, their own culture and food, costumes and urban legends, and in some cases particular religion. This makes Iran a very colorful country, which obviously can be a place of wonder but also trouble.

Some of the Folk Costumes in Iran

The relations among these ethnicities and their relation with the capital and the ruling system through history is complicated and differs from region to region, dynasty to dynasty. As you might know, the country you know as Iran today is the remains of an old empire that has gone through many uprises and downfalls, wars and invasions, and rebordering. Here's a quick video of how Iran's borders have changed through history; got bigger, shrank in size, and moved east and west.

The trouble with having so much variety within a country is the unpleasant manifestation of racism, favoritism, and discrimination. This problem has gotten a lot worse under the islamic republic regime. Even though favoritism and racism by the government have existed to different degrees in previous dynasties, the Islamic Republic took it to another level and since it's a theocracy, they added the element of religion stronger than ever to the discrimination mix.

Currently, in Iran, the uneven distribution of wealth and resources, and the government's neglect in many provinces and cities have made a huge gap between prosperity levels in crucial cities like tha capital, Tehran, and everywhere else. Tehran currently is the most populated city in western Asia. It's actually overpopulated, and this overpopulation is causing many environmental problems like air pollution in the city. The main reason is immigration because of the concentration of facilities and opportunities in the capital in contrast with non-existent facilities in other areas. Many people, including my family, have moved to Tehran, temporarily or permanently, to get a better chance at education or finding a job.

Apart from financial fairness, the islamic republic has been dead set on destroying ethnic identities in Iran. Banning the writing, reading, and learning of native languages at schools is one example. In many cities around the country, Persian is not the first language of daily communication. Persian as the official language is the mediator language that makes it possible for people from different regions to communicate. Different accents of Persian are the main and only language in many cities. Some cities are bilingual, but in others, Persian is like English in European countries, just a mediator, not the main native language. Almost everyone can understand and speak Persian, but native languages are the preferred language of daily life in cities with the majority of that ethnic population.

Another example is the restriction on wearing native clothes. In this one, the Islamic Republic hasn't been completely achieved, but they've been able to pale the usage or change the original form of most ethnic styles. For example, to make all the Iranian women uniformly dressed, they successfully changed the colorful veiling of Baloch women to a Black chador.

The original colorful clothing of Baloch women vs the black chador Islamic Republic has forced on them

Last but not least, based on religious beliefs, cities with the majority of non-shia muslim populations face discrimination times and times worse. Lots of Kurdish and Baloch cities have a majority of sunni muslim people. In the recent protests, the level of oppressing violence these cities have faced is far worse than in other states. Where in Tehran they shoot us mostly with shotguns, they only use battle rifles in Kurdistan and Zahedan. In only one day, Bloody Friday of Zahedan, they killed at least 96 Baloch people. Baloch people are also the first group of arrested protesters the regime has started executing. They're being murdered by the regime everyday now. These were only discriminations they're faced during the protests. A region with many metal mines like gold, and various industries is in so much poverty you'd think it's a war-struck place. Poverty, lack of clean drinking water, and identity paper restrictions are some of the examples of problems in Sistan and Baluchestan province.

In Kurdish cities the regime brought Tanks and DShK to suppress people, as if a foreign army has striked. People of Kurd never accepted the Islamic Republic regime and have been fighting its authority for decades now. Mahsa Amini, as you probably know by now, was from a Kurdish city named Saqez. The protests started in front of the hospital she passed away in, in Tehran, but it turned into full on revolution at her funeral, in her homeland, where Kurd women took their headscarves off and chanted "jîn, jîyan, azadî".

Fighting regional and racial discrimination in the free democratic future of Iran will be another obstacle our nation should deal with alongside women's rights, children's rights, LGBT rights, and working group rights.

also the person in question (mohab hassan youssef) says things like this. quoting a different site:

The collective mind of society is representing something, an ideology, a culture, a state of consciousness that is stuck in the 6th and 7th centuries in a tribal lust for power, he said.

“We cannot fool ourselves,” he continued, but “there is an Islamic problem,” going on to mention various radical Islamic terrorist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, Boko Haram and Islamic State.“ All of them are killing by the name of Allah,” he said adding that other religions do not act in such ways. “There is an Islamic problem and I think humanity needs to stand against this danger.”

"To tell them no, Islam is a religion of peace. We just create the perfect climate for terrorists to keep on growing." Islam is a belief system and the world should unify against it just as it did against Nazism, he went on to argue.

he compares the religious belief of a racialised and frequently demonised group of people to nazism. he claims this religion is primitive, 'tribal', and inextricably linked to terrorism. i'm sure he has good intentions and has no reason to lie, though! he definitely represents the palestinian people, many of whom belong to the religion he vilifies!

Failed attempt by anti Islam Dutch group to burn the Quran - this literal symbolism is glorious 💖💗 The spirit and faith of the Quran and Muslim people can never be destroyed 💖💗🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒🫒 Friendly reminder for all those swayed and misled into anti Islamic feelings and thoughts and actions by Palestine's plight coming forth into the light of the global stage's central focus, this massive terrorist attack on Palestine by "Israel " has nothing to do with religion. Anyone, including Christians and atheists that happen to be in Palestine are targets of Israel - anyone that isn't them. They want it just for themselves, they don't want to share. Very dalek mentality, as the daleks were based on the Nazis. Zionism is the new Nazism, don't get misled now.

muslims will act violently homophobic in a country that values gay rights and then act shocked when it reflects badly on their community

#non muslims pls don’t interract but i’m sooo mad i just need to rant #also prefacing this by saying obvs muslims are not to blame for racism and islamophobia in europe these things would still exist without #all the controversy but omggg #so this group of lgbt muslims planned an iftar for other queer muslims and they had to cancel it bc of the threats they received #and now ofc all the politicians are going on abt how they cannot accept intolerance and this behaviour is unacceptable in a society that #preaches equal rights for queer people #and like… was that not to be expected??? the very muslims who do shit like this will be the first to scream islamophobia but are you making #ANY effort #this meeting was not for you it does not affect you you don’t even have to think abt it but what makes you think sending threats of #physical violence during the holy month of RAMADAN is smth you should be doing #there is nothing surprising abt the far right (who don’t even support queer rights themselves) to jump on this opportunity to make sure #everyone knows that look!! those muslims refuse to adopt our good belgian values #and yk they’d find smth anyway but let’s avoid adding fuel to their fire by giving them real actual reasons to be concerned #and on the one hand it does feel like victim blaming bc marginalised groups shouldn’t be held responsible for the hatred targeted at them #and it’s not muslims’ fault but i’m just so tired like they really can’t help themselves #something so deeply wrong with muslims who make hating queer people their number one priority like… i don’t think you understand what your #beloved faith stands for #it’s just such a shame to have to start ramadan with this kind of discourse everywhere #exactly 0% of this is surprising i could’ve predicted this would happen exactly but it’s just so tiring on all accounts #you want to live your religion in piece without being targeted for it? what makes you think attacking other ppl wanting the very same thing #is a logical response? use your brain and spend some time doing dhikr instead of spreading hate on the internet what is wrong with you

#no wait listen to me. listen to me #im south asian. my grandparents were muslim. my great aunt and uncle and their children and my parents siblings are all muslim #my parents aren't. they raised us without any religion. without even our national cultural ceremonies tied to islam #dont let yourself believe for a fucking second that has nothing to do 9/11 happening two years before i was born. two years before we moved #im south asian. my dad's first name is mohammed. when we catch a flight we get to the airport two hours earlier- #to account for the time it'll take my dad to be 'routinely stopped and searched' by airport security #routinely is right lmfao. it happens every time we fly #last time i was on an american airlines flight our checked luggage ended up across the continent and took two days to get to us #(my 12yo cousin gifted us an alarm clock that made an ominous ticking noise and we couldn't shut it the fuck up- #the luggage was labeled mohammed and coming from south asia. my sibling jokes it's a wonder we got it back) #im canadian. i cried my ass off to cfa tonight bc of how touching the story of a small town coming together to help a group of strangers is #(can't help thinking that never would've happened in a bigger city? but thereby lies another tale) #and god normally i hate 9/11 stories bc it feels like two sides of my identity being pitted against each other and it makes me so uncomfy #like as a canadian i should be sympathetic towards the states and at the same time im viscerally aware of the lasting prejudiced impacts #but cfa did it so beautifully #will never get over the 'thorough search' scene.

It is absolutely wild to me that America is having a groomer panic when the supreme court basically just told Mormons they can diddle children and not report it because "religious freedom" and I'm really starting to wonder when this "religious freedom" stops if not reporting literally the worst crime you can commit is fine under the guise of God. Perhaps these people would be fine with a father murdering his daughter because she had premarital sex and that brought dishonor on the family, or are they against that only because they associate so called "honor killings" with Muslims? Because the way it's going they are ONE stop away from genuinely arguing this with the way they've allowed religion to shit all over everyone else's rights by holding the feelings of Christians above literally everything else, including CSA victims. Religious freedom is not the right to take away everyone else's rights regardless of what a Certain Brand of Christian thinks. Especially when the only religion that gets this freedom in the US (and Canada) is Christianity.

Like don't panic about groomers if you're going to make it legal for Mormons to rape children and do nothing about it, and instead of calling trans people pedos come out and saw what you mean because I'm tired of the political right couching everything they say in coded fucking language so they can hide their actual intentions. If you need to do this much subterfuge to hide your political goals you damn well KNOW your ideas are unpopular and fucked up I wish these people were even a quarter as oppressed as they think they are because then we'd actually start violently and virulently questioning literally everything about everything whenever a republican or a conservative opened their fucking face instead of only doing that to people we don't like while accepting whatever horse shit falls out of the political rights ass no matter how ridiculous or who gets hurt, children they want to "save" so bad included.

#winters ramblings #tw csa mention #this is UNBELIEVABLE to me. shut the FUCK up about molesting kids if youre fine with mormons doing it #shut the FUCK up about religious freedom if what that means to you is the freedom to trample EVERYONES rights with your religion #religious freedom should come with EXTRA PERKS nonreligious or non christians lets be real DONT get #you K N O W if a group of athiests diddled kids and hid it theyd IMMEDIATELY demonize athiesm about it #queer people didnt even NEED to do anything to kids to be raked over the coals and yet your FINE eith child molestation #the MOMENT you say 'no no its fine i raped this child im a mormon!' like fuck yall thats disgusting #the supreme court is perhaps the most useless institution in existence thanks to republicans stalking it FULL #of fuckswizzles that give religious people the freedom to take away everyone ELSES freedoms #sure sounds like freedom to me!! #honestly i dont EVER want to hear from a christian about how horrible muslims are to women when YOU ARE NOT BETTER #these people are SO quick to whine about everyone ELSES religions doing the same bullshit they do and im TIRED of it #stop bitching about this shit if youre fine with doing all the shit you whine about yourself

#1) it's not the fact that it's about the crusades it's the huge red flag that apparently flashbacks are the first thing on the #chopping block when netflix wants to tighten the budget while major action sequences go untouched #(think about how Netflix has prioritized its original films since RED NOTICE and since their stock started tumbling...) #(as I type this the action-bloated THE GRAY MAN is barely over 56% on RT) #2) character development/relationship dynamics is what made TOG stand out in a sea of sludge and flashbacks are a major #source of character-development particularly when dealing with beings who are CENTURIES old (show me... don't tell me) #3) nicky and joe are obviously not the main characters but they are very much part of the main group and their mere existence #(particularly joe's) often feels revolutionary in this shitty industry; every other old immortal getting a character-building flashback #except them doesn't sit right... i don't care about battlefields i just want a moment of them connecting/their relationship evolving #and after TTT i'm a bit wary of how often Yusuf's *history* as a queer MENA muslim immortal has been overlooked #(why wouldn't you want more flashbacks if they're used efficiently and show the sheer amount of time this group has spent together?) #(why even make a movie about immortal characters if you're not going to delve into the dizzying span of their respective lives even a bit?) #(it's not about the crusades being in the movie or not - it's that this suggests that netflix has de-prioritized flashbacks *in general*) #personal #will probably delete later #(i don't want my complete lack of faith in netflix to bring y'all down lol)

July 23

#1. the weather this month was horrible. how is it raining this much in the middle of summer? so annoying #2. July was a month full of having mehmaan or going to visit other peoples houses. I’m a pretty social person and I usually love spending #spending time with family but this was a bit too much #I made my version of knafeh after quite some time (without a recipe really) and it turned out good 😃 #3. flowers my mum regretted buying cause after paying she saw other ones she liked more and which were cheaper lol #4. these beads I used last year to make necklace. wore it only a few times so decided to change it and make it into a phone chain. also #got this cute sticker from work. cute right. my inner child is really happy with the amount of cute stickers I can just use #5. every year there’s this group of Muslim youth from another city. and they organise a carnival type a thing for the kids in their city #2 years ago I volunteered there and decided to do it again this year. it’s not in my own city but our masjid is in that city. took my mum #+ little brother with so he could play. my aunt also came with her kids and it was a really nice day. the whole thing was organised and run #by Muslims and was free for all. i had a good time helping out and was asked if I wanna join the committee (?). I declined #bc it’s a little too far for me to be present throughout the year. I will continue to help on the day of in sha Allah. anyway they did do #catering for the volunteers and it was from one of my favourite restaurants in that city. I kinda know the owner so when I saw him when I #joked if my favourite cheesecake would also be provided today. he said unfortunately not but he’ll bring some just for me so he did 🥺 #6. made a little heart w my baby bros hair #monthly recap

#ask #anon #let me just tell you as someone who grew up in a muslim country it is incredibly frustrating #to see all these so called activists coming out of the woodwork ONLY when their faves are going to those countries to perform #is it legal to give the death penalty to muslims found guilty of sodomy in qatar? yes #there are 0 known cases of that ever happening however #and in october the worst thing the human rights watch could find was systemic police brutality against lgbt people #now is that FUCKING AWFUL? #yes obviously you don't have to be a phd graduate to see that #but does that then mean that bts should refuse to perform in all places that have systemic police brutality against marginalized groups? #hint fucking every country on earth???? #like do y'all ever hear yourselves #is the blatant islamophobia and xenophobia coming from these discussions not a red flag for yo #why is it okay for bts to perform in america which systemically persecutes black and brown people and also WOMEN???? #like. just tell me you think brown people's countries are savage and backwards without telling me that #anyways. i'm not talking about this anymore bc i know none of u will actually absorb anything i'm saying #goodbye have a nice life i'm not replying to any more of your asks lmao

Apparently I have watched The Birdcage, with my family no less! I'd seen it referred to here but never connected the dots that it was the same movie I'd watched many years ago on tv, probably when I was a teenager.

I don't remember my parents' reaction to it but since I'd seen some of it and no one changed the channel, they were at least engrossed enough to watch? They can be cool about stuff sometimes, they are just very unpredictable about it.

#Rant #Personal #My parents are weird #My dad is sexist as in he believes in gender roles and frowns upon any type of effeminate behaviour in men #but he also believes that all women should be hashtag girlbosses #My mom reads/watches things with queer people all the time (she doesn't actively seek it but she doesn't get scandalised or whatever by it) #And she and my sister once had a conversation in which she said people should accept their queer kids and when my sister raised the #'hypothetical' whether she would do the same....she said yes? #Which.....um. That lady gets antsy when women don't wax their leg hair. Even complete strangers. #She and dad get weird about bra straps showing. You're telling me they are a-okay with their kids being bi?? #Also what about the gender stuff #They are cool about muslims and yesterday my dad even tried to rationalise with his colleague about how they face so many disadvantages #and mom keeps bragging about her multi-religious college friend group #But then they also say things like 'I once went to a muslim colleague's house and it was /clean/. You couldn't even /tell/' #They obviously also are against casteism but then they turn around and spew some brahmin-manufactured religious bullshit #While being kind of meh about religion in general #Like I don't understand this on-the-fence behaviour. They clearly understand oppression. Why still cling to the status quo then? #They understand that women deserve financial freedom. queer people (sexuality based at least) deserve basic rights. #muslims deserve not to be harassed. #Why not take the next step and examine your own biases about these communities then? #I know the answer ofc. It's because they think they are 'progressive' and so they don't have any biases ever #It's frustrating. I want to come out. I'm tired. #But I can't. I can't speak about politics. #I can't even say 'hey. you know my male friend from college who wore a saree to our graduation? I thought he looked rad #and every day I wish I had his bravery' #Ughhhh sorry for this
